1919 Market

1919 Market

Amazing building, not the safest feeling location

I really like my apartment -- it's nice and works well. The receptionists are incredibly nice and welcoming, making me feel safe; however, Market St. is pretty dirty and commercial.

My wife and I love the layout and fixtures in our apartment. They are definitely nicer than other options (2116 Chestnut) and 1919 has more availability than other buildings. Although the washer / dryer are the terrible small Bosch appliances. The gym is ok (minimal free weights) despite the cost. Worst part is living on market across from Wawa. We have had multiple scary run-ins and characters who follow us into the building. The one block distance from Chestnut to Market makes a big difference.

High quality building with nice amenities, concierge, etc. but extremely expensive for what it is. Market street is not very nice to live on. Parking is very expensive. Dealing with management is a pain (rents change weekly) and they have no flexibility (I was forced into a 9 month lease because they were charging $1k per month more for a 12 month lease). Overall I'd say a good place to start but better options in the area. If their rents were more reasonable and they dropped their absurd approach to deciding rents I would be inclined to give it a higher review.

Chose this building over other similar options (2116, 2040, etc.) because of amenities and the strong community I've been able to build while here

Location is fabulous. It's close to everything and the trolley is right outside to get to school. The rest is definitely on the higher side but it is worth it for the amenities, especially like the rooftop, pods and pool. Maintenance is also good, and the staff is pretty responsive. The rental office is slow at responding to emails so be prepared for that. My only complaint is that the foyer is constantly cluttered with packages, which sometimes can ruin the look of the entrance. But this may change as COVID circumstances change.

I am a first-year Wharton student living alone and love 1919. The building is very nice and the front desk / maintenance are responsive. Gym, pool, rooftop, study rooms, kitchen and lounge are all great. Golf simulator is an added plus. Location is awesome since it is very close to the heart of Rittenhouse square. There are a lot of Wharton students, which I really like, but could see how that might be off-putting to some people. Overall, I would highly, highly recommend living here to anyone interested.

One of the better apartments in the area. My apartment is not facing market street, so I do not have the noise issues some folks have who live closer to the street. My studio is cozy, but I like the nicer finishes, amenity spaces for hosting, and decent noise insulation. For a studio, I also haven't gotten tired of the small space. It helps to have an L-shaped apartment. Maintenance is great and responds within 24 hours almost always if you have any issues. The trolley station is on the same block.

1919 has great amenities. The apartments are nice and the staff is great. Highly recommend.
